Dark Souls developer From Software is rumored to be working on a new game codenamed "Project Beast," if a clutch of unverified screenshots posted on NeoGAF are to be believed.

Several of them were thrown up recently by user Herla, who picked up them up from 4Chan.The screenshots, which depict a shotgun-wielding character exploring ruined temples and cemeteries populated by undead creatures, certainly echo From's distinctive moody art style. The original 4Chan post was reported to have described a "giant mindflayer type enemy," "a character placing a shining magic sword into a pedestal at the base of a statue," and the text "this is a nightmare," among other things. There was no insight as to how the images ended up on the site, so at the very least, enjoy this as very clever fan art.All total rumour and speculation until we hear otherwise, we've reached out to Sony Japan and will update with anything we hear back.

Love the art style.
The screenshots look more like paintings, only 2 of the pictures look like actual screenshots to me, but they are compressed and low res so its hard to tell.
Cant wait to hear more though.

Hmm it would be cool to have a bigger and better co-op mode perhaps, but I love the feeling of sheer dread you get when just playing normally and you get invaded by another player. Don't think that should really be removed. It's part of the terror of the Souls games.

I wonder if Sony and From Software will start new second party relationship.

I know Sony previous made comment that have screwed up relation with From Soft. on Demon Soul's project. Knowing Sony, they are always looking into trying new second parties and eventually buying them out if they are good.

yes it sucks that this got leaked but Sony has a ton of exciting stuff up their sleeves for their E3 conference.

Yea. I am bit exaggerating little bit. Good news is good news whether it gets presented in E3 or not. I mean if there are great exclusives coming for PS4, it doesnt matter whether it was leaked first or announced at E3.

Call me nostalgic, but I loved the time when I am completely surprised by a game announcement. lol.

this looks amazing i just finished Demons Souls a week ago and loved the gameplay. The Boletaria levels are amazing i hope they can fill this game with levels liek that i got a bit fed up with the dark areas in Valley of Defilement and the 1st level of Latria
